Brisbane and Melbourne have a huge nursery of hard-working, talented forwards that we should be looking to poach. They can’t keep them all. Surely there will be one or two that want to play bigger minutes or more regular NRL footy that would be willing to move. But that kind of astute, tactical signing seems to be beyond us as a club.
I’m with Daz. Sick of the Panthers being the club that players come to for their final NRL payout.
Right now JWH gets protected by the sombrero mafia and he still gets suspended regularly. Imagine how much time he will spend on the sidelines if he plays for the Panthers. It will be Kikau on Nicholls every time… That might work for some players at the end of their career though. Three years of part-time footy on huge pay.
Jai Arrow would be a way better signing. Welch too.
